lyrics

Are you conscious anymore?
It makes me wonder
Even the calm before the storm
Can't hide the thunder
Try to ride the wave
That takes you under
Are you conscious anymore?
I wonder, I wonder

My baby sold me to the cops, cops
They tried to put me in a box, box
But when a teardrop wants to drop, it drops
I know that anything that dies, dies
A little baby that cries, cries
But there's a magic living in your eyes

Afraid of anything that comes near
Praying that anything will come in clear
Watching you die is like my biggest fear
Hearing that melody that comes down
I can't believe it now you're underground
The grass is greener but my heart is brown

My baby says you don't die
My baby says it's all right
I'm chillin’ in the sunshine
Chillin’ in the sunshine
Chillin’ in the sunshine
Freezin’ in the sunshine
